Listing Buckets

Scenarios

If you want to view information about all buckets created by yourself, you can call the API for listing buckets.

The following describes how to call the API for listing buckets. For details about how to call an API, see Calling APIs.

Prerequisites

  • You have obtained the AK and SK. For details about how to obtain the AK and SK, see Obtaining Access Keys (AK/SK).
  • You have specified the region where you want to list buckets and obtained the endpoint required for API calls. For details, see Endpoints.

Obtaining the Bucket List in the a1 Region

In this example, an Apache HttpClient is used.
